Why are LSU fans so enamoured with their former players' success in the NFL?

Some of their former players do pretty well and some not so well in the league, but they - more than any fan base out there - take more pride in NFL success to a weird degree.
If you were thinking logically, LSU fan, you would be upset that all of this talent is going to waste while on campus.
Maybe it's some weird swamp logic...

I think this thread deserves some introspection:
Why are Bama fans so butthurt with their former players' lack of success in the NFL?

Because they didn't do much at LSU...

Why do LSU fan support former players in the league? Idk, maybe because we have watched them for 3-4 years and want them to do well in life when they leave LSU?

LSU fans are just more loyal.
Congrats on the Wal-Mart t-shirt sales, though.

Yeah, when Patrick Peterson donated $1 million to LSU last week at only 25, I was embarrassed for everyone involved. Even worse is seeing Odell Beckham become the most hyped rookie in years.
I'm going to vomit when Ben Simmons is taken #1 overall in the NBA draft this spring. It'll be the nail in the coffin for LSU basketball.

It's hard not to root for our guys, especially when one just donated a cool Million back to the school that got him to the league in the first place..

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Because it helps with recruiting, and most of the players are from LA so why wouldn't we support them? Oh, your stupid position that the players have underachieved. Yeah, we're so Vanderbilt when it comes to on the field success. SMH.

To answer the question, it's because LSU fans realize those players represent LSU and we like to see all things LSU succeed. As a Bama sidewalker I understand you don't comprehend that everytime you put on your elephant hat and yell roll tahd you're actually a representation of Alabama.

That's what it is. Just right above trailer park logic, that's why you don't understand.

LSU hasn't won a major bowl game since 2007, and they've lost 4 in a row to Alabama. There isn't much to "brag" about from their perspective, so they cling to anything they can. Most fans pull for their guys in the league. LSU fans don't love their players and hope for their success more than fans of any other school, it just seems that way because they're very vocal about it, again because it's the only thing they can really point to and brag about right now. I welcome the onslaught of downvotes, but everyone reading this knows it to be true whether they're willing to admit it or not.
If LSU were dominating college football, they'd stil support their former players, but you wouldn't see as much chest thumping over those guys success in the NFL. It's starting to become a tricky argument for them, because now Alabama has more superstars in the league than they do. They'll need to start winning some ball games against Bama or they won't have a talking point at all, and will just have to bend over and accept defeat
Lacy, Jones, Hightower, Dareus, Mosley are bonafide NFL studs. LSU has Peterson, Williams, Whitworth, OBJ and a lot of role players.

I guess when most of your players fail in the NFL routinely it makes one feel better to take digs at schools who produce more NFL ready talent than you do.
